- The moon has always called to me…in times of need, in times of trouble. I love the cool nights and the barren sky, dressed with stars. I lie out here some nights to clear my mind. Other times, I just sit out here and enjoy the silence. Well, that and the incessant chirping of the crickets and unknown insects among them. It can be a lonely sound.. but I'm not complaining. Personally, I don't fully mind being alone but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy a little company every once in awhile. At times I question my own sanity when I notice I will be talking to the crickets about my problems. Maybe I like the fact that they always have the same response. They can't judge me like people can. You could say that's unhealthy. I would say maybe but then again who are you to judge me? I take rest beneath a tree and ponder on my day. It was a normal day. Got up at 6am,went to work, suffered, then came home. Now here I am. I get up from this vacant field and start my walk home. It's not far, but it's still stressful. As I walk, I see houses. Houses that people live in. People that have better lives than me. People that have families and friends who they can go to for help. But me...Well I go to the crickets. I walk up the steps and slip my key in the door, just like I've done so many times before. I throw my jacket on the couch and walk up to my bedroom. The only one in this house that's occupied. I plop down on the bed with out closing the door. Hey, maybe if an intruder comes in I'll have someone to talk to. Some one in my house that's not me, that's something you. I close my eyes for the walk was tiring and stressful. I start to drift off to slumber when I feel hands grabbing me pinning me down on the bed. I open my eyes of fright and see I shadow hovering over my body. The shadow had a body of mussels and it smelled of alcohal. The shadow over me spoke of desirer, "please don't scream child. I don't want trouble. I just want you for myself. I've seen up in the forest talking to the trees. I had went there just to see you and listen to your sweet voice. Today I woke up deciding I will follow you and talk to you at last."The shadow leaned down and kissed me on my lips. I felt a sudden chill run down my spine which made me suddenly jump back. I've never slightly imagined such a situation like this to occur and now i'm left with no reaction. "Well well...", I muttered as I attempted to catch my breath "thank you?". "oh uh yeah no problem. Wait what do you mean?" he responded. "For acknowledging my exsistence. How did that even happen?" I said analyzing his every facial expression.
